He does play with such players like Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, and Anderson. Put him in the Raps especially with Bargnani, he'll be getting 9 to 10boards a game. Look at Reggie rebounding numbers before he joined our team. Plus he defends the paint. Fans appreciate effort and hustle. Something Bargnani doesn't deliver.

so the theory of him playing beside solid rebounders works for him, but Bargs playing beside top 10 rebounders in the league every year doesnt give him any slack?
